Ukraine blast Donald Trump with sarcastic message months after White House furore ("Today Zelensky played the King of Drones")
MSM --- Daily Express UK ^ | 6-3 | Story by John Varga, John O'Sullivan

Posted on 06/03/2025 12:30:24 PM PDT by dennisw

"They (Ukraine) don't have any cards, but they play it tough. But we're not going to let this continue."

(Trump said this three months ago during the Trump, Zelensky, JDVance, Marco Rubio press conference White House)

In a cheeky nod to Trump's card analogy, the Business Ukraine journal posted a succinct seven-word taunt aimed at Trump.

"Today Zelensky played the King of Drones," they wrote following news of the (audacious) aerial strikes.

Illia Ponomarenko, a Ukrainian defense journalist, made a pointed reference to Zelensky's public humiliation in the Oval Office.

"This is what happens when a proud nation under attack doesn't listen to all those: 'Ukraine has only six months left'. 'You have no cards'. 'Just surrender for peace, Russia cannot lose'."

Meanwhile, social media was quickly abuzz with a meme depicting a resolute President Zelensky clad in a metaphorical suit of cards.

The Ukrainian head of state had earlier been criticized for his appearance in military fatigues during a White House visit-a style he has adopted consistently since the onset of full-scale warfare.

High-level officials from Russia and Ukraine convened once more in Istanbul in an effort to rejuvenate stalled peace talks.

In an apparent move toward de-escalation, Russia proposed a "partial ceasefire" lasting two to three days, ostensibly to allow for the retrieval of soldiers killed in action from both sides.

But regarding Ukraine... Trump’s silence should worry Ukraine badly. He could have easily come out with a statement to the effect that “this is war..”, “Russia should expect..”, “We were not involved and the drones were made in Ukraine....”.

But he didn’t. Now the dancing monkey Z is prodding Trump and mocking him.

He wanted a very different reaction.

President Putin has been confirming what President Zelenski told President Trump about Russian reliability.

Because President Putin is not acting as President Trump predicted he would, President Trump is reassessing his understanding of the situation.

We will see what happens next.

It’s starting to look like the Neocons in Congress and the Deep State are in charge, not POTUS Trump.

And Z knows it.

Let’s check the board…still lost 20% of the country and still have 0% of Russia (when Trump said it you had .1) so all in all you’re down. To be fair Trump could have been more accurate, you don’t have any good cards…or better yet, you don’t have a winning hand. You can kill a lot of Russians and they can kill a lot of you. They all equals more deaths per week which is what Trump has been saying.

“Trump hasn’t mentioned Ukraine or Russia since the attack on Russian nuclear bombers. Odd.”

Yep.

“The Ivans will soon be 300 kilometers from Kiev.”

Considering they’re 10 miles outside Sumy, they are there now. And just like WWII, they are leaving nothing but rubble and bodies in their wake.

Bullchit. That sure as hell isn’t what the people who set this up are saying about what they did behind Trump’s back.
Trump is reassessing all right.

Zelensky is mouthing off and acting the bragging smartass fool for everyone to see.

Payback may be what shuts that trap of his.

General Mikey Flynn said it is inconceivable that the CIA was not aware of this plan in the works for 18 months.

The question asked Karoline Levitt was whether Zelinsky informed Trump ahead of time. Her answer was, 'he did not'. There should have been a followup question, namely, 'Did the CIA or any U.S. organization inform Trump ahead of time regarding plans for the Spiderweb strike or anything similar?"

Trump needs to find and cull all those in our government, particularly the CIA and security related sectors, of individuals acting secretly and independent of the President's oversight . If the CIA knew about Spiderweb and chose not to inform the President, then people must be removed and held accountable.

Mr. Z slapped down both Putin and Trump with his brilliant attack that feels very German or English. Now the ball is in Putin’s court. Its like an old cliff hanger serial.

Zelensky's removal, by whatever means, seems like a necessary precursor to serious negotiations.

That silly "card" meme of the greasy, grifting finook is cornball fantasy.

On the other hand this picture is a real picture of the little pole-smoking degenerate; that "hero" of leftists, globalists, Zeepers, EU degenerates, Trump-haters, the vile Soros Clan and the WEF in all his "glory."Zboy

Mike Pompeo was in Ukraine the exact same time Senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal met with Zelensky in Kyiv.

While they huddled in the capital, Pompeo delivered a fiery warning from Odesa’s Black Sea Security Forum—calling U.S. recognition of Russian-occupied Crimea a “mistake of epic proportions.

—”IF Zelenskyy is such a genius he can fight this war himself,”

The straw man is attempting to spread propaganda, and probably does it for nothing.

The straw man fallacy distorts the opposing viewpoint to make it easier to attack. The idea that a single person can fight a war is a ridiculous and easily refutable claim.

Not too long ago, the Russians were masters of propaganda; today, not so much.

Today, lacking the skills of the masters, the attempt is to use the ‘firehose of falsehoods’.
Sadly, some still believe the big lies from a land where 40 million people still shit outside. They murder people to steal their toilet.

Much credit must be given to Chairman Xi for advancing the Chinese people into the modern world.
Past the Russians and their bounty of natural resources that the Chinese lacked.
How does that work?

“President Trump said he was preventing very bad things from happening to Russia.

Putin ignored the comment.

Then very bad things happened.

Coincidence?”

Thank you for your comment.

Time for putin to stop his empire building and think of the imprisonment and murder he has caused for thousands of Russian and Ukrainian people.

Trump’s on a real learning curve regarding certain world leaders’ comparatively sanguine attitude toward the prospect of continued seemingly pointless mass death of men who should just be living their lives.

PDJT clearly sees such a waste of precious human souls taking place, but neither Z nor Putin seem to be exhibiting that kind of mindset or urgency.

Pompeo’s made his bed and is busy feathering it.
